Vista round 3

I'll start off by saying - "What was I thinking?". I bought a Vista machine from Best Buy for the third time. Like the 2 before it, it will be returned. I thought that my needs for this particular computer were so basic, that Vista would work. Nope. I can't use my printers on my home network, I can't open Word.docs e-mailed by clients, Real time chat sessions with my cable provider are not Vista friendly, and Adobe photoshop still won't even load onto the computer despite the large memory spec'd on this unit.

I just can't comprehend how they could produce an operating system this bad. It certainly puts to bed any arguments as to which is better - Mac or Windows. Unfortunately, I just need a cheap travel laptop. The Macbook bottoms out well over a grand. Once again my interim solution is to order a new Dell loaded with XP at half the price of a Macbook. Get 'em while you can I say.
